About

Platanidia beach is located on the Aegean Sea (part of Mediterranean Sea) and it is in the 235th place out of 348 beaches in the Thessaly region 64.5 km away from its center, the city of Larissa. It is one of the beaches of Agios Minas settlement, just 1.3 km from its center. The beach is located in a natural place.

It is a spacious coastline with green water and brown fine pebble, so you don't need special shoes. The sharpness of entering the water is quite normal. This beach is suitable for different categories of people, lonely travellers, relaxation getaway lovers etc. It is partially crowded during the high season.

Platanidia beach coast is free for all. It has no amenities, only nature. .

In addition to swimming and sunbathing, you can also take part in other activities.

5 more beaches are also available within a 5 km radius. The best one is Malaki beach, which has a rating of 7.3.

Platanidia beach (Thessaly) is located outside the Agios Minas settlement, which may cause some difficulties for travelers who stay far from the coast. However, the remoteness from the village is not always a bad thing. Lovers of quiet rest know, the farther the beach, the fewer crowds.

The beach stretches on the sunny coast and the easiest way to get to the beach is by car or bike. If you don't have this option, then the second best solution is to use the taxi, which can drive you directly to the beach. The only problem, if your stay is far away it can be quite expensive. There is also a possibility of use of public transport, but in this case you need to check the correct route to the Platanidia beach with the locals. Take into account that the bus stop is usually in some distance., but accessing the beach requires traversing some distance on foot. While driving or cycling are the most convenient options for reaching the start point of trail, these methods may not be feasible for everyone. Alternatively, a taxi can be used to drive directly to the location. Public transportation is another option, but it's important to confirm the correct route with locals beforehand as the bus stop may be located at some distance.

The beach is suitable for a family getaway and has brown, fine pebbles. However, it doesn't have any outstanding features.

As we alighted from the bus, we couldn't help but notice the charming coffee bar, Dekko, situated a mere 200 meters away on the left. What made this spot particularly alluring was the stunning beach that stretched out before it. The crystal-clear waters and soft sand were truly a sight to behold. It was the perfect spot to unwind and bask in the sun's warm glow. We highly recommend this hidden gem to anyone seeking a memorable beach experience.

Platanidia beach (Thessaly) is not fully equipped for sunbathing. However, if you are not picky and are willing to spread out on a towel, you can sunbathe here as well. The natural shade will allow you to hide from the scorching sun in the peak of its activity. Well, the photos of our visitors will be the best proof of that, all the available photos of the beach are above.This beach is poorly suitable for sunbathing. First of all Platanidia beach (Thessaly) is completely lacking in comfortable sunbathe facilities. There are no sun loungers and umbrellas, this is usually not a problem for an unsophisticated tourist who can relax on a towel, but in this case the rest can be very uncomfortable due to pebbles.Lying on it is possible, but is far from comfortable. In addition there is a lack of natural shade, which leaves you alone with the summer sun. So our recommendation is that you can sunbathe comfortably on the Platanidia beach for a short time, and not at the peak of sunbathing. If you want to explore the photos of this beach - they are above on the page.
